Has anyone animated the new C5.1 trees? If so, could you post an animated gif for all to see? I have yet to try - but look forward. Found the RustBoy way (to animate moving leaves) creative, but always had issues with unwanted boarders around the leaves, even with an alpha map. But it did take less resources to animate.

Another question... I am starting to show my art (1st show in June), matted and framed ( I enjoy the process! Making my own frames - route, sand, build, stain, etc. ) The final piece costs me under $25 framed 14x20 - includes glass, double matt, dust cover, and hardware. Kinkos prints on 11x17 for $4.00.)

What would be a fair price to sell a framed piece like this? It is a print, and digital art does not appear to garnish the same price as painted art. I was thinking $40.00 for a print, in a mailing tube. $150 - $200 matted and framed. Too high? The stuff here by local artists varies, and for framed art - usallly can't touch it for under $250 - $300.

Anyway. It would be nice to recoup some of the (thousands) of dollars I've spent on 3D apps, computers, and models : ). Seems every month I am telling my wife - "Honey, the new version of ____ just came out, and it's ***nice. I gotta have it. Listen what it can do now..." Sound familiar to anyone? R

Never Give Up!
